Victor Osimhen set an important history as Napoli recorded a hard-earned 2-1 victory against Cagliari at the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Saturday night.
Osimhen scored Napoli’s opening goal in the 64th minute of the keenly contested encounter.
In the process, he became the first Napoli player to score in each of his first four Serie A matches against two different teams, since the 1994-1995 season.
The 24-year-old netted in his first four games against Sampdoria, mustering five goals in total, and Saturday’s strike meant he has also scored in four consecutive appearances versus Cagliari.
Aside from his goal, the Nigeria international also set up Kvicha Kvaratskhelia for the match winner.
Osimhen has so far scored seven goals in 14 league appearances for the Serie A champions this season.
